1. The Headbangers defeated The Godwinns, The New Blackjacks, and Furnas and Lafon by pinfall
This was an absolutely dreadful opener. This was as sloppy as they come and the crowd wasn't very into it, which is never a good thing when it's the opening match.
Rating: .25
2. Rocky Maivia defeated The Sultan by pinfall
These two guys went on to bigger things (well, mostly The Rock), but this was not good. What a terrible start to your biggest show of the year.
Rating: .5
3. Hunter Hearst Helmsley defeated Goldust by pinfall
This was decent, but not as good as their Royal Rumble match. The ending was hot, making it seem better than it was.
Rating: 1.75
4. Owen Hart and British Bulldog and Vader and Mankind wrestled to a double countout
This show would have been a lot better if they would have just given the title to Vader or Mankind and had them fight the Undertaker. This is a rare heel vs. heel match that seemed to occur because they had nothing better for these guys to do, which is a shame.
Rating: 2.25
5. Bret Hart defeated Steve Austin by ref stoppage
***Match Of The Night***
This is, in my opinion, still the greatest match I've ever seen. The workrate is just phenomenal, the crowd was hot, and the finish is legendary. Rarely is a star made because of a loss, but Steve Austin defied the logic.
Rating: 5
6. Legion Of Doom and Ahmed Johnson defeated The Nation Of Domination by pinfall
This was fun for awhile, then outwore it's welcome. They all seemed to run out of ideas, with the exception of Faarooq. Another sloppy match.
Rating: 1.5
7. Undertaker defeated Sid by pinfall to win the WWF Championship
The crowd was not very into this match, which is rare for an Undertaker match. Really the only thing memorable during the match are the Bret Hart run-ins.
Rating: .5
Well, this would be the definition of a one match show. With this being WrestleMania, that is just not acceptable, even if that one match is my favorite match of all time. Fortunately, WWF would go on to have much better shows in the near future.
Overall Rating: 59%
